Bernard Cribbins – Womble Stories. I picked this up at November's Ealing Record Fair, a wonderful nostalgic blast of Cribbins' exceptional vocal talents. He simply is The Wombles.

Postman Pat had snow and ice to contend with in Greendale in Letters on Ice #OTD 40 years ago. A lovely episode designed and directed by the great Ivor Wood. I explored his fantastic work earlier this year for @radiotimes.bsky.social: www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/mag...

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #MyFavouriteXmasSong. Nostalgia is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. I still have a signed postcard from The Wombles and can still remember the day it came. I was 5 years old.

Today's song for #MyMusicalAdventCalendar is I Wish It Could Be A Womblinh Merry Christmas Everyday by Roy Wood and The Wombles.
This is obviously a terrible idea, mashing up two magnificent Christmas songs. It's objectively absolutely awful but I love it to pieces. It makes me laugh every time!

Watching The Wombles doing '...Wombling Merry Christmas' and Google the names. One heading has:
'Are the Wombles still relevant?' 😂
Well, obviously. If you were a wean brought up with them, you take your rubbish home if the bins are full.
EXCEPT on Wimbledon Common. So you get to meet them. 😂

Dartmouth, Devon, from a long-gone shop just down from St. Saviour's Church. I'd had records before (Music For Pleasure kids' 45s) but they'd have been bought for me. I think I got this with a record token. I wanted 'The Wombling Song' but they said they didn't have that, and this was 'the new one'

As I missed a couple of days, here's #Halloween #Scotstober word of the day number 2: Guiser (n.) - a person in fancy dress, costume, or disguise; usually for a special occasion, festival, or performance. Here I am circa 1977, dressed as the Womble, Orinoco.

If you wondered what happened to The Wombles: Well, they've been in a bag at the back of our cupboard for the last 20-odd years. Sadly, they now look like they're about to appear in a reboot directed by George A. Romero.
